Thanks for sharing this with us. If my friend was in similar circumstances, I would tell them to read this de-paywalled 404 Media article with a doctor and lawyer next to them, to do what the doctor and lawyer say and comply with all laws and best practices and sensible precautions, and that it wasn’t medical or legal advice and neither is this Lemmy post.

Also, corsetry kicks ass and your work is gorgeous. My SO found creators like Abby Cox, Bernadette Banner, and Nicole Rudolph during 2020 and it’s been an absolutely mesmerizing rabbit hole to fall into even for a cishet fella well outside the key demographics. Although, unisex medical compression support garments are more relevant to me lately; is that an angle that drew you to them with EDS and everything?

I’m glad there’s a gamepad in that picture too. What you’ve shared speaks to a life lived very well in spite of health and circumstance.

Oh, great, ICE is just quoting Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.

‘I thought, my God, the genius of that… understand that these men were not monsters… they had wives, families, they fought with their hearts… yet they had the strength… the strength to do that’.)
